Perry Normal posted:I think a lot of guys who have those fancy pads don't wear boots, but some kind of athletic shoe. Off the top of my head, I can think of Lance Storm, Waltman and Shelton Benjamin who did this, but I'm sure there are hundreds more. Yeah, a lot of indy guys also get kickpads instead of actual wrestling boots because they're a lot cheaper and don't look half bad.

WWE's next move will be making a buddy-comedy about their flight getting delayed and them having to race from Virginia to California in 48 hours to make it to the next show. That kind of movie would be something that interests me. Assuming they are in character, of course.

Exactly which episode of the Bryan and Vinny show was it that they reviewed Victory Road 2009 and Alverez yells MINUS FIVE STARS?

I think it's actually on an Observer Radio and not a B&V show, since Vinny usually does his PPV report as part of those. So check the WORs from July 2009.

Yeah, Regal gave AmDrag some boots for ankle support. I imagine he doesn't wear them anymore due to vegan reasons. It's hard to find a good vegan shoe.

Mr. Carlisle posted:Aren't those kickpads so that they can use a more kick based offense without breaking someone or their own shins? That's what I'd have to guess anyway. As for the guys that wear them that don't have a kick based offense I have no idea. In horse riding, people wear short boots with.. uh.. "kickpads", to reduce the ammount of weight being carried on the ankle joint. The pads are "held up" by the muscles around the top of the calf, wheras the weight of long boots is supported entirely by the ankle and the foot. If I'm riding in long boots for a few hours, I notice that I lose a lot of the flexibility in my ankle, because of the weight my foot has been carrying. I guess for people wrestling 40-minute matches, it's a bit of a no-brainer. You don't want to be wearing big heavy leather boots to do it.

Or if you're Sid none of it will matter when it comes to support - it's just how much you'd like to contain your ankle goo after it explodes.

Chilly McFreeze posted:I've heard that WWE will usually cover surgeries from an in-ring injury. My understanding's that they try to make sure their performers are taken care of (as did WCW when they were around), even though they won't go so far as to actually give them health insurance. TNA apparently uses a reimbursement system, which seems like a less good idea, but TNA.

Rusty Shackelford posted:Scott likened Nash in his later WCW days as Poochie from the Simpsons. If Nash was on the screen, everyone would be talking about him; if Nash wasn't on the screen, everyone would ask "where's Nash." Scott was transferring the Poochie moniker from Nash to Taker. I like being a pedantic dick about wrestling recappers from more than a decade ago. http://slashwrestling.com/nitro/981207.html quote:Let Us Take You Back to Moments Ago. Nash is annoyed, Taylor says there's a match tonight, Nash guarantees the match won't happen and Goldberg better stay focused on him. Goldberg says that not a second goes by that he doesn't DREAM of knocking his rear end to the mat. Hey, he said "rear end" again! Remember Homer's idea to make Itchy & Scratchy better? "When Poochy isn't on the screen, the other characters should be sad, look around, and say 'Where's Poochy?'" KEVIN NASH IS POOCHY! And now I am ready to kill myself.

Can anybody remember more than a few face/heel turns over the last few years? It seems like people are just suddenly faces or heels without one big act that signifies the turn. Orton, for instance, started getting cheers and just slowly became a face.
